SUBJECT: Equity Series Compatibility Certifications
Recently, four leading vendors of communications products have issued
certifications of compatibility for the Epson Equity series of PCS. The products
range from local-area networking to multi-user applications to micro-to-
mainframe connectivity.
Arnet Corporation produces multi-user expansion boards that allow terminals to
be connected to PCs using multi-user operating systems. They have certified
the Equity I+ and III+ for use with their products.
A typical configuration would be an Equity III+ host, the Xenix operating
system, an Arnet Multiport Multi-8 board and cabling to connect other PCs
(such as the Equity I+) or standard ASCII terminals. Other compatible
operating systems include Microport Unix, Theos, BOS, PC MOS and Others.
The Arnet Twin port offers 2 serial ports for smaller installations. The
Multiport board is available in Multi-4 or Multi-8 configurations, and the
Multi-4 can be upgraded; The Smartport is an intelligent version of the
Multiport that uses the 80186 processor to handle heavy data transfer. The
Smartport is compatible only with the Equity III+.
